In front of Jianghai High School.
Gu Yan already had a basic understanding of Leng Ling'er's current situation.
Overall, it seemed like she wasn't in immediate danger.
"Alright, I'll take my leave now."
"As for you..."
Gu Yan glanced in a certain direction and said to Mei Xue, "You should think about how to explain this to your companions."
The latter was stunned. Explain to her companions?
She followed Gu Yan's gaze out the window and her pupils suddenly contracted.
There was a butterfly clinging to the outside of the window.
Orchids!!
Mei Xue's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, why would Orchids' butterfly be here?
Sss! That's right!
Mei Xue suddenly gasped, remembering.
Earlier, when she was reporting to her master about the relationship between Deng Feng and Black Tortoise Gate, her master had mentioned sending Orchids to protect Leng Ling'er to prevent any accidents.
But she had forgotten about that due to Gu Yan's order to protect Leng Ling'er.
Now what should she do? Or how should she explain this?
Because her master's order was to protect Gu Yan, but Gu Yan had ordered her to protect Miss Ling'er.
"Understood."
Mei Xue nodded with a troubled expression.
Since it's here, it means the person is also nearby?
With that thought, her figure disappeared from the car.
Gu Yan smiled faintly. Orchids.
A loyal subordinate who never revealed any information about Leng Qingqiu, even until death.
In any case, a loyal subordinate is a good subordinate.
Gu Yan started the car and drove off, leaving the explanation work to Mei Xue.
After all, during their conversation earlier, Gu Yan had learned that Leng Qingqiu had already informed all members of the Night Organization about his identity as her husband in the secular world.
Oh dear~~ I didn't expect it to be so bold~~ Is this an official announcement~~
Gu Yan's face showed a happy smile.
Hehehe~~ Going back to see Qingqiu~~
There's nothing much to do recently, just waiting for the plot to unfold~~
So, take this time to spend some quality time with Qingqiu~~
After all, there will be a lot more to do later.
Thinking of the people related to the protagonist Xiao Lin in the original story, Gu Yan felt a headache coming on.
Not only the protagonist himself, but the others also had their own fortunes and opportunities. Each one could be a protagonist in any world.
It's really tough for our Qingqiu to deal with so many freaks all by herself.
But it's okay!! This time! I'll be by your side!
Hehehe, I really look forward to when Qingqiu discovers what I've done.
Then will she be so moved that she'll cry in my arms and say, "I love you the most, hubby!"
"Just thinking about it makes me excited!"
Gu Yan's face showed an anticipatory expression.

.....
In a certain residential apartment.
A person was sitting cross-legged on the bed, while behind him was an old man with both hands on his back, sending his qi surging.
"Ughhh!!!"
Deng Feng's face twisted in pain, the agony in his body making him scream involuntarily.
"Hold on! This is the necessary path for your transformation!"
"Think of the person you want to protect, Deng Feng!"
The Master of Black Tortoise Gate reprimanded, continuously clearing the meridians for him.
As he cleared the meridians, he felt excited. Yes! He could feel it!!
This is the Black Tortoise Qi!!!
Deng Feng is the chosen one!
Hearing this, Deng Feng's nearly broken will seemed to think of something.
His mind flashed with the image of that figure, who had extended a helping hand to him in his most embarrassing moment.
And only she was willing to help him, even willing to talk to him.
That person is the one I want to protect....
Yes.... The person I want to protect....
Classmate Ling'er..... Classmate Ling'er.....
"Ughhh!!!"
Deng Feng roared loudly, and suddenly, a green light burst forth from his body.
Clang clang clang!!!
The strong wind blew away the pots, pans, and utensils in the room.
The Master of Black Tortoise Gate quickly looked at Deng Feng, who was gasping for breath like a bull, but a Black Tortoise tattoo had already grown on his back!!!
He was overjoyed. The Black Tortoise apparition!!!
It's done!!!
"Deng Feng! You have now stepped into the realm of a second-tier martial artist!!!"
The Master of Black Tortoise Gate shouted in delight.
The chosen one! Is this the talent of the chosen one?!
Just by unleashing the power of the Black Tortoise Qi, he has directly elevated to the level of a second-tier martial artist! An 18-year-old second-tier martial artist! Hahaha! The revival of Black Tortoise Gate is within reach!
Deng Feng was also overjoyed. He clenched his fists. This is... power?!
His mind flashed with the image of the figure accompanying Leng Ling'er.
From Ling'er's conversations with Bai Qionglan, he knew.
His name is Gu Yan.
Gu Yan!
I now have the capital to protect Ling'er!! I will no longer feel inferior in front of you!
Just you wait! Under fair competition! Ling'er will definitely choose me!
Because! I am no longer in the same world as you!
.....
.....
In Tianye Pharmaceuticals.
In the president's office.
Shen Wan'er's mood was quite good recently, as not only had she found new partners at the previous banquet.
But also, her bodyguard Xiao Lin had brought her unexpected gains.
She looked at the beauty products made by her subordinates based on the formula provided by Xiao Lin.
Her lips couldn't help but curl up.
"Xiao Lin... you really gave me a big surprise."
Shen Wan'er muttered to herself. She hadn't expected Xiao Lin to have a miraculous beauty formula and just give it to her so casually.
After testing, the effect of this formula was astonishingly good.
This made her a bit curious about him. Strong in ability, and could casually give her a beauty formula that had never been seen in the market.
Who exactly is he?
To be honest, Shen Wan'er had started to become curious about him.
Gu Yan left me, but Xiao Lin brought a formula that could make Tianye Pharmaceuticals even stronger.
Could this be... the compensation from the heavens for me?
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
his freshman year, Su Bai accidentally bound the "Indulgence Tycoon System." 【Sleeping in? Reward: +$1,000】 【Spent $288 at a street barbecue stall? Cashback: +$2,880】 【Dropped $14,396 on in-game skins? Special reward unlocked: A brand-new Porsche Panamera!】 Luxury cars, penthouses, corporate shares, financial empires… College life was all about living freely and doing whatever he pleased! … When the adorably naive academic genius faced family medical bills and financial struggles, Su Bai waved his hand dismissively: "Your future is on me." "Wuwu~ Big Brother is so good to me! I’ll become a scientist to repay you!" When the genius girl got bullied by a shady professor? Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing? Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success? Not just that—Su Bai also became the tsundere campus belle’s unattainable dream, the contrast senior’s daily necessity, and the beautiful counselor’s emotional anchor…
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
